  • Build relationships and lead outsourced drug product development and manufacturing activities, including contracts, timelines, and budgets, to meet overall project timelines.
  • Collaborate with internal and external CMC functions, including project management, chemical development, analytical development, and supply chain, to align priorities and project timelines. Communicate progress regularly and effectively, addressing any queries and managing any escalations.
  • Maximize product development technical capability, formulation development, and expertise internally by leveraging CDMO partners.
  • Troubleshoot formulation and manufacturing issues as needed.
  • Participate in cross-functional development teams as needed; represent Drug Product Development on CMC sub teams.

  • Review and approve master batch records, validation protocols/reports, specifications required for drug product manufacturing, and author development/technical reports.


Requirements:


  • Ph.D. with 10+ years of experience or BS/MS with 15+ years of experience in CMC pharmaceutical sciences or closely related discipline with relevant small molecule development experience.
  • Strong knowledge and implementation of ICH Guidelines and current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs).

  • Ability to manage multiple projects spanning all phases of development and rapidly adapt to changing program needs.
